The leak of the test firmware was an assurance that Samsung has not forgotten the Galaxy Note 10.1 altogether and it’s working on the KitKat update for the device. Finally, the long-awaited moment has arrived as the Android 4.4.2 software update is already being rolled out. The owners of the Galaxy Note 10.1 in Germany reported receiving KitKat OTA update notification as confirmation.

While the official OTA will take some time before it reaches all Galaxy Note 10.1 users worldwide, there is still a way that you can install the latest KitKat firmware right away. The Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware with build version N8000XXUDNE4 is available for download and can be installed using Odin. KitKat update for the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 is really a great jump from the previous Android 4.1.2 as it brings many new things to the device.

Why hasnt the gt-n8013 gotten the update? Seems like every other variant of the 2012 note 10.1 has gotten the update except the US WIFI only version. To me it sounds like Samsung is giving the US the finger.

I updated my old note 10 to kitkat, there was 4 buttons for back, home, multiapps, and screenshoot. Now my screenshoot button is gone. There is no screenshoot buttkon for old note 10. I dont want to the S pen, can u help me?

I’m looking for a gt-n8013 kitkat update, wifi model, in the usa. Any word if and when samsung will release it forthe model I mentioned and is the only way to get kitkat for the gt-n8013 is rooting(I’ve never rooted a device before and I don’t feel comfortable doing it to the only tablet I have)? Or as I said an update from samsung themself?

Hi! I like it when my devices just update automatic and I dont need to worry about it. But it seems like it will take for ever before that happens with my Galaxy note 10.1 (GT-N8000) Im still stuck with 4.1.2. I need at least 4.2 to run a new app i want. So now im going to be crazy and try and update it myself. I found this article about it. The update linked to in this article, will that keep my norwegian language? It made me a conserned that the picture in this article shows at tab with german languge.
